Are they staring you in the face from your tv set lee, maybe check in the back of it.



"Well, I was feelin' sad and feelin' blue
I didn't know what in the world I was gonna do
Them Communists they was comin' around
They was in the air
They was on the ground
They wouldn't gimme no peace

Well, I was lookin' everywhere for them gol-darned Reds
I got up in the mornin' 'n' looked under my bed
Looked in the sink, behind the door
Looked in the glove compartment of my car
Couldn't find 'em

I was lookin' high an' low for them Reds everywhere
I was lookin' in the sink an' underneath the chair
I looked way up my chimney hole
I even looked deep inside my toilet bowl
They got away

Well, I was sittin' home alone an' started to sweat
Figured they was in my T.V. set
Peeked behind the picture frame
Got a shock from my feet, hittin' right up in the brain
Them Reds caused it
I know they did, them hard-core ones

Well, I fin'ly started thinkin' straight
When I run outta things to investigate
Couldn't imagine doin' anything else
So now I'm sittin' home investigatin' myself
Hope I don't find out anything, hm, great God"

laugh

The problem with the economy comes from poor fiscal policy, in this case, is related to demand/supply. As demands increases and there is a shortage of supply, prices go up. it causes inflation.

Our society is a capitalist . Capitalism works when money circulates, as people work, get paid, and buy crap. Because that flow is slowing down, it creates inflation. The economy is a complex web of chains; break one, it affects all the others chains. that's the problem.

People should not just let politics take over, as "governments" have limited power. Listen and read what macroeconomists or fiscalist say/write !!

dumb as usual. comfort communism is dead long time ago. Thats not the cause !

Pretty soon? What an ambitious person you are, let us know when you go on a quest for fire or water

As much as communists here might expect to be paid to do any mad thing they want in China this isn't like this at all. You do the most disciplined job and live like a pauper to support the economic war effort which is to overtake the west as soon as inhumanly possible.

Well, it's was expected to happen.
And finally someone created a crisis and made the overlooked obvious.
Nobody is surprised. Or at least they shouldn't be.
Things are changing, a bit late but still changing.
Get used to it.

On one side we have companies who will gouge all they can. On the other side, fools who will pay whatever is asked. Then you have the smart who compare, shop around and boycott stuff they feel is over priced.
Dad went through it after WW1. He predicted it for the US. Every time wages rise, prices go up. Companies win, workers lose.
I just looked for chicken necks or backs. Dad got tired of dog food prices. He decided buying necks and backs that mom boiled for the dog was cheaper and better. Ten cents a pound. Plus mom could make soup if she wanted the broth. Guess the price now. 1.50 to 2 per pound.wow frustrated Like wings..once a toss aside, now a dollar for one because someone pushed the idea.
I can buy chicken thighs or drumsticks for 1.50 or less. I have gotten them for .89. So markets think I am going to pay that for bones? I did see what might be the answer. Necks sold for crab bait.
This country is so slewed it is unbelievable.
Fancy bread..$4. Keep it. And as a farmer, I know it isnt them getting rich. Nor the grocer.

Inflation back in the double digits today as there really is no alternative to being something like 20% poorer than we were. But at least this will give youth a future, a chance to get on the property ladder.

We can't afford the Homer Simpson middle class anymore, the life of Riley for people who are crap. And we should have collapsed after 2008 because now it's even harder to equal the talents of middle classes in the far east.

Contrary to what our governments say , Russia has managed to break our economy since the Ukraine war began .
Food prices escalating, energy bills nearly doubled, not to mention the pound being devalued against the dollar & inflation hitting the roof !
I could go on , but I think you get my point .
